are front bumper valances interchangable

I was wondering if the valance on a 1994 ranger is interchangeable with a newer 2003 ranger. the screws look the same and mounts the same way.
I was wondering if anyone has done this before.

The front end obviously changed, they appear wider in the grille area, less turn on on the fenders.
I know this is of no help but get out the tape measure.

they're not interchangeable without a full bumper and valence swap.
if you do that, then you'll have a huge ugly gap between the grille and the bumper as well since the 94 grille wont dip down into the bumper curve.

They only swap within generations i have an 05 STX valance on my 03 bumper. It can be done but you might as well swap the grill at that point to get it to look right.
